the events narrated are among the end of season 4 of Angel and the beginning of 5, I do not know if someone is spoiler again, in this case I warned
with great regret I must disclose the fact that Connor's character does not belong to me (ohh infameeee luck! ç__ç) as well as those who are later cited and are part of the Buffyverse and 'Angelverse, but they all belong to Joss Whedon.
Sweetvalley: Connor heard the whole story dropping his eyes and without saying anything.
The story was so detailed and crazy as to appear incredible, but every word of the Moon Connor recovered a fragment of its former identity was like diving head on into a film already seen but it was shelved for years, and as always happens in these cases, the feeling you get is yes of wonder but also sadness for something that was put aside for too long.
"I guess it must be difficult for you to feel spit on all these things." Luna turned to Connor trying to understand the mood.
"It is not .... but now everything is clear," Connor continued to look at the track without looking at the moon, now I remember many things that come to mind that he did not like at all, was not then a great person in his recent past.
"Perhaps it would be best to ignore all this," he added seriously.
"What!" Luna looked at him in amazement, did not understand his reaction, "how can you ignore? You have a father Connor! He loves you! "
" I know, otherwise he would never have given up on me, but I already have a family, "he turned to what was just his house," they are there, and I love I do not want to abandon them, none of them do not deserve ...", and then made a brief pause, turning to the moon and looking into her eyes a hint of a sad smile, "I do not think he is ready to face all this, I do not know What is really why I'm here and how possible that my father is a vampire with a soul .... "
Moon put his hand on Connor's shoulder and smiled, "it is easy to see why we are in this world yet and if we waste our time thinking about why we are here we will lose the best of life is not it? ".
"Maybe you're right, but it is too early for me ...", he made another short pause," ... why did you come here? " I do not know him at all before from what I understand. "
"No, we did not know before and that's why I came. I was here with Faith when you kill that vampire and then we went back to LA to tell Angel. "
The memories of Connor cleared more and more, now I remember clearly the faces of people he loved and those who tried to kill, just the thought pained him as if all that had happened was remembering the day before, thought back to Cordelia, but did not ask anything about her, she was still confused at that point.
"Faith is a slayer, I remember! You were with her ... so are you? "
" Yes, "Luna smiled, would have to explain everything about it," see things have changed since the last time you met Faith, then were only two, she and Buffy, it's all changed now! We are many, not many, but we all have our powers. Shortly after Angel gave you this new life, this second chance, if we want to call it that, went to Sunnydale and Buffy has to fight for something useful, at least at the moment the principle of all evil. In order to fight against evil primordial Buffy had to make sure that his power was shared with us all. Now the unique characteristics that distinguish the hunter no longer exists, now we fight together on the same front, " Luna's gaze for a moment was lost in the void and then looked back at Connor, "although this is hard! Every day it is, but not ignore what we are. "
"You can not really say that you go lightly! I understand very well that you wanted to hit me with those words. "
"I do not want to hit anyone, I tell you just how things are! You have much more to remember and much to learn and as I said before we met just do not force you to do anything that you do not want, "the hunter stood up and wiped a hand pants, "Keep this number is the Hyperion Hotel," Connor gave a business card, "that's where you'll find when you decide to tackle your life."
Connor took his business card and sat watching the moon, "I'm not saying I will ignore all that, I just need time to understand."
"Yes, I know," Luna said in a tone a little 'detached, "now I just have to go!" He walked towards the car which had arrived there, "Soon, I hope, got into the car and drove to Los Angeles without another word.
Connor stared at the empty street for a while ', she felt as if he were in a body that was not his and he would soon have to face reality.
Dawn was breaking now, and had not moved an inch, he felt the urge to tell someone about this, but the more she thought and the more he realized that he could not do, who would understand? Who would be willing to not take him for a fool? Not even his parents or his sisters could understand all this and then he was sure that really did not know anything about this whole thing and did not want to ever hurt them, for no reason at all.
He stood with his head low and head down into the house quietly, and stood in the living room to look at family photos placed in nice frames on the mantelpiece, he was in every picture and he was alive every single memory of his childhood in that house.
rested long on a photo in which he was next to her younger sister and she still had tears in his eyes for crying and had a bandage on his right arm that could be seen clearly sticking out of the thin-sleeve t-shirt cotton, touched arm instinctively and could hear the little pad that scar, remember essersela done playing with Kate, she had accidentally dropped down from the tree house, but remember this was contrary to the true origin of the wound.
"Quore-toth ...", whispered just as the little smile that she had outlined her lips looking at the pictures, gave way to a look of sadness.
"Connor."
Connor swung round to hear sister's voice.
"You're already awake at this hour?". He put
again the picture on the fireplace and smiled at Kate
"I was awake in the truth"
"What happened? Serena's sick? "Kate came to his brother worried.
"No, she's better, it's just that ...", he could not tell the truth, at least not all there was to know," ... is that I feel a bit ' guilty about what happened, if I had not withheld maybe now she would be fine. "
And I'd still be a normal guy like everyone else "It is not was not your fault, you've helped not? "Kate smiled to cheer him up.
"Yes, it is." Connor looked down to avoid having to lie still and look into their eyes, "maybe I'm just a little 'tired'.
Kate went further to him and tilted his head to the right looked deep
"Are you sure that all?"
"Yes, why?"
'E' that looks like say, different ... your eyes, your look is different ... " continued to scrutinize it, unable to understand what had caused that feeling.
Connor smiled sweetly to her sister.
"Maybe I'm just tired, what should I be different from a few hours ago?".
Kate shrugged and said nothing.
"You better go to bed now, I did not sleep at all tonight!" Connor went up the stairs, leaving Kate in the living room and, once lay on the bed in the room without even undressing, he closed his eyes looking to sleep, but the only thing I could think was her old life.
Connor was late afternoon when he awoke, had done nothing but dream about his past and the only thing I could think of was all the evil that had caused him to Angel.
He got out of bed and went to the window, the sun was already setting and felt within him a growing feeling unusual feeling of having to go out hunting, but the rational part of himself did not want to do it, folded arms in front of him and remained silent until she heard a knock at his door.
"Next", he said, turning toward the door still closed.
In the twilight of the room by Kate, took a few steps toward his brother and stopped before approaching him at all.
"You're awake! Did you sleep so much! "Sat on the bed and lit the lamp that was on the nightstand.
"I was really tired."
"I was from Serena, has asked for you, I said you were resting, seemed a bit 'disappointed that I had not gone to see her at all, but you know how it is made has been said that the hit was been hard for you last night. "
" Yeah, you do not know what the left ...", sentence in half and Kate looked at him quizzically, without say anything.
"I have to go to her!", Came to the door step, so fast as to be barely perceptible, Kate remained open mouth opened and closed his eyes several times as if to wake from hallucination .
Connor was hard to control his powers, at least he could no longer do so well after having recalled.
left the house and running to the hospital with the intention to review Serena, but he felt in his instinct that shouted, actually felt the need to hunt and kill, this feeling was new to him but at the same time so family to scare him, he stopped suddenly and looked around, he managed to collect all the smells that were around him.
He remained motionless for several minutes, he could hear every little sound, looked at the road ahead that led to the hospital and then he turned to his left to a small street, his gaze shifted from one direction to ' other as if undecided what to do, follow your instinct or rational part of himself.
swallowed hard and closed his eyes for a moment, when he opened them he had no more doubts.
Los Angeles:
The night passed too quickly in Los Angeles, Moon came back almost at dawn and found Angel sat and waited in the huge lobby.
"Are you alone!" Angel saying was sitting in the chair and without looking back toward the hunter.
"Yes!" Luna took a few steps toward the center of the hall, "I think he needs a little 'time to understand what happened."
There was a moment of silence that seemed eternal, then Angel spoke without moving even a mm.
"He's okay?"
"Yes .. I heard it all the time without saying anything, at all costs wanted to understand what was happening, then she started to remember and its expression is changed, seemed to suffer for something, but I have not asked for anything because he had just said he needed time. So I left the hotel number, I'm sure she will call soon, "Luna approached the stairs.
Thank You, Angel's voice was gentle and Luna seemed to feel it tremble for a moment.
"Do not thank me, you know that indebted to you and even if I were not, let me live here, so ...", he left the sentence hanging in the knowledge that he had understood what he was talking about, "now I think I need to rest a bit ;.
Moon went up the stairs to go to sleep in her room and Angel stood still in the hall thinking about how he would react when his son would be back there. He had to explain many things, he should first talk to him about Cordelia and why it happened what had happened.
Despite the concern over the incident Angel stared at the windows that were beginning to clear at dawn and for the first time in a long time within themselves felt again the love that only a father can feel for their child.
